b. Next, you'll need to add a bit of ease to a couple of your measurements to ensure a nice fit and make sure your sleeve won't be right up against your arm. Add 2 to 3 inches to your bicep circumference, 1 to 2 inches to your elbow width, and 1 inch to the wrist.

Glad to have found this post although I'm having a bit of trouble with this - I don't quite understand point g where you draw a new shoulder line between the two points marked when walking the sleeve around the sloper - does this not end up with a big bit of extra material at the top since pinning it up on both sides will have the shoulder point finishing at the two marks made? I have been staring at this for about an hour now and I can't understand how it will work out. I've made 3 sleeves and I've had this extra material on every one. Help I'm so confused!
